At an event earlier today, Microsoft unveiled the next Xbox - the third model, but confusingly named Xbox One. The big focus was TV, integrated Kinect, and all the other stuff we all expected to be forced down our throats. I think it took them 25 minutes to actually come to what should be the core of the story: gaming. Nothing groundbreaking in the gaming department, except for how Microsoft intends to handle the used games market and borrowing games from friends: pay up, buddy!

This is stupid!!! very very stupid.
The console itself is interesting, it is a nice media integrator, but how many of those services will work in every part of europe is still to be seen.
And for the gaming aspect I don't give a fXXX if it has 8 cores and million of polygons, if it restrict me to validate the game online, and why not something connecting just to be sure that it can annoy me about not being always on, and restrict me for lending games to friends I won't buy that!
